Anyone know how to get a sidewinder game pad to work in win2k?

[cchen]

It doesn't get detected automatically... so I tried downloading the software from microsoft.... but the setup won't install correctly and I get some "cannot locate setup" error so it won't install.... how can I get this working?

I have the game pad Pro and it worked fine in win2k (it's USB)

If it's the gameport one, just go to control panel to gaming devices or whatever it's called in 2k and go to add and find Microsoft Sidewinder (auto detect).

That should do it.
